1. A wrist-worn device, comprising:
a capsule, comprising a top portion, a bottom portion, and a side portion joining the top portion and the bottom portion, wherein the side portion comprises an external side and an internal side;
a sensor, the sensor having a first side and a second side, the first side coupled to a circuit board, wherein the circuit board is affixed to a portion of the internal side of the side portion of the capsule via a thermally isolating material, the sensor configured to generate sensor data indicative of a force applied to a corresponding portion of the external side of the side portion of the capsule; and
a linear resonator actuator (LRA) configured to provide haptic feedback to a wearer of the wrist-worn device, the LRA affixed to the second side of the sensor.
